G T B The International Automotive Lighting and Light Signalling Expert Group Groupe de Travail “Bruxelles 1952” Introduction  Introduction into R128 of LED light source categories for forward lighting applications (front fog, low beam, high beam, AFS) is planned for 2017  R128 changes include performance-based requirements to address forward lighting application-specific parameters: -Visibility & Glare -Temperature Dependency of LED Light Sources  Requirements in R128 have to match with the requirements in the forward lighting device regulations (R19, R98, R112, R113, R123)  In order to avoid significant delay of introduction of this new technology we propose to implement the required adjustments to the device regulations before the “period of no change” due to the simplification of device regulations 3 GTB Document CE-5258 GTB WG LS Document LS-1180

G T B The International Automotive Lighting and Light Signalling Expert Group Groupe de Travail “Bruxelles 1952” Amendments to Device Regulations Forward Lighting Regulations (R19, R98, R112, R113, R123) need to be amended to accept R128 light sources  Adding the option for R128 light sources:  Introduction of Thermal Grades from R128 into forward lighting regulations GTB Document CE-5258 GTB WG LS Document LS

G T B The International Automotive Lighting and Light Signalling Expert Group Groupe de Travail “Bruxelles 1952” Amendments to Device Regulations Example I R Headlamps shall be so made that they give adequate illumination without dazzle when emitting the passing- beam, and good illumination when emitting the driving- beam. Bend lighting may be produced by activating one additional filament light source, one or more LED light source(s) or one or more LED module(s) being part of the passing-beam headlamp.

G T B The International Automotive Lighting and Light Signalling Expert Group Groupe de Travail “Bruxelles 1952” Amendments to Device Regulations Example II R References made in this Regulation to standard (étalon) filament lamp(s) light source(s) and to Regulation No. 37 shall refer to Regulation No. 37 and its series of amendments in force at the time of application for type approval. References made in this Regulation to standard (étalon) LED light source(s) and to Regulation No. 128, including the thermal grade of the LED light source(s), shall refer to Regulation No. 128 and its series of amendments in force at the time of application for type approval.

G T B The International Automotive Lighting and Light Signalling Expert Group Groupe de Travail “Bruxelles 1952” LED Light Sources According to R128 for Forward Lighting Application LED light source, with: Photometric characteristics near-field and far-field Contrast, uniformity Mechanical interface positioning tolerance (after replacement) Electrical interface (connector) Either: operated at 13.2V Or: using external control gear Thermal performance Either: heat sink integrated Or: thermal interface to heatsink GTB Document CE-5258 GTB WG LS Document LS-1180

G T B The International Automotive Lighting and Light Signalling Expert Group Groupe de Travail “Bruxelles 1952” What is Special for Forward Lighting LED Light Sources? The headlamp can be close to combustion engine, which would mean different levels of higher temperature conditions at the LED light source  Introduce the concept of Thermal Grades to qualify the appropriate thermal operating environment of the LED light source Example: all “LWx” emit 700lm ± 15% at 25°C and … Note: Thermal grades have downward compatible keying GTB Document CE-5258 GTB WG LS Document LS-1180
